HELLO ALL...I am new but have been reading some of the post on here for a while prior to making my first Hayabusa purchase...I have never owned anything like a Busa before...I have always been on liter bikes before...I have a lot of question that still have not been completely answered in my research so I wanted to bring up the ones I thought were more important...
I want to buy a new Hayabusa until I was looking at the prices of them used and the amount of add ons or mods on the bike...SS brake lines...upgraded pads...pegs...levers...seats ect...the one thing I have not really understood completely is how to "set up" the suspension system for the individual???is it just about whats comfortable to me or is it more to it???...I am 6'4" 240 so seat height is not an issue for me...I have heard of people lowing the bike to take some weight off of their wrist but what are the purposes of lowering a bike besides looks and seat height???
I am not a speed demon...I was when I was younger until I seen friends make mistake from inexperience...lack of respect for the bike or just trying to show off so my riding style is riding...not racing and I am not an aggressive rider who pushes the bike to its limits...my main concern is getting the bike set for my size and comfort with as little trail and error as possible...as of right now no I am not doing a lot of long distance riding until I am more familiar with the bike and how it acts and reacts...
Also I am not sure which color I am going to get...I have seen a lot threads about the fastest color but all color schemes are nice to me so that is still up in the air...even though my daughter loves orange...my son likes the Busa in white and I have a Blue truck that matches the blue...
